What I've Been Listening To #1

Still have no clue on the general direction of this blog. But I just wanted to write about something. And today's post is a few albums I've been listening to this past month.

Carole King- Tapestry

I was curious what the top selling vinyls of all time were and I found this list by Times Union. There were quite a few that I've never listened to, including this one. Originally starting out as a songwriter, Carole released her first album Writer in 1970, but not until her 2nd LP Tapestry in 1971 did she experience mainstream success. From "I Feel The Earth Move" to "Natural Woman" (written by King for Aretha Franklin), I can hear why it went on to sell over 25 million copies.

Bea Miller- Chapter One: Blue

Her 2nd EP after 2014's Young Blood and her only album Not An Apology. This the first part of 3 EPs being released this year to form her 2nd album, due out in November. Interesting marketing, for sure. There's 3 songs, "song like you" (releasing for radio airplay March 24th), "burning bridges", and "i can't breathe." Bea's been flying under the radar for a while now and I think in time she'll be huge.

The Big Four

I want to get more familiar with "grunge" so what better place to start than 4 of the biggest records (according to GlodenPlec)? Nirvana's Nevermind, Alice in Chain's Dirt, Soundgarden's Superunknown and Pearl Jam's Ten, the one I've listened the most. Eddie Vedder. What a rockstar. Have you seen those stage dives?!

Thundercat- Drunk

Gonna blow all my cash on anime (Yes!)
